Peas are a starch...thus its a no brainer..on keto no starches. Green beans are fibrous HUGE difference. If the other trainer doesnt know the difference I would be wary of any advice coming from him especially when it comes to diet...does he even understand how keto works?
Green beans, asparagus, broccoli, spinach etc all good.

Yes thanks Ted! I was not taking advice, just had a talk and I told exactly that, way too much carbs in peas even if there is a good amount of fibers.
For other veggies like green beans and broccoli, how much do you go for ? I usually measure 100g dry to stay in the safe side, but I think I could go for a little more.

One cup chopped two or three times daily is fine.

Week #14, I am at 188.2lbs, so a loss of 1.4lbs even though I added 20 min of cardio, I think it's time to add 1 more no fat day. So no fat days will be on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday (cheat meal on Sunday evening).
When I add one more fat free day, do I also increase cardio +10 min or leave it as the previous week ?
Eric
You could leave it the same..plus no fat days work better back to back not staggered. So if you do one no fat it can be any day...if you do two not fat then they are back to back....three same thing....do not put fat days in between no fat days.
P
Ok thanks!
Does it make a difference to set them at them beginning of week like Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday or setting them at the end of the week like Thursday, Friday and Saturday ? Or it doesn't matter ?
Thanks
Eric
Doesnt matter...once you start non fat days you rotate them so it just continues over and over.
P
Ok cool thanks Ted, that will be a first for me, in the past I was alternating. Like we say in French: 'J'vas me coucher moins niaiseux'.
I'm having horse meat instead of beef for red meat and chicken meal is oven baked, so no fat is required for cooking. The body will have no choice but to dig deeper into stored sh!t to fuel the 100min/2 of cardio + 20min of walking to the gym + 2hrs of training + normal activities.
I really enjoy doing my cardio, saw 89 gooses today near the river.

Fat free days are Tuesday, Wednesday (today) and Thursday. Today is my biggest workout of the hard week, and tomorrow for my 3rd fat free day I'm doing legs. I'm saying this in case some wonders: even though I'm not eating 'fuel' neither carbs and fats, I still have awesome workouts, I go through them the same as when I eat carbs. Keto is awesome for that.
Today even with my mind at 100% and lots of mental preparation, good warm-ups I did only those numbers on the bench press: 245x2 (was aiming for 6), 225x5, 205x8, 185x11 (fcuking weak), before the diet and at the beginning of the diet I was doing: 275lbsx2, 245x4, 225x7, 205x11 (still fcuking weak but a bit less), my others lifts doesn't suffer as much as the presses. I really gave it all...
I supersetted bench press with chin-ups and this is my weights at the chin-ups (me+ added weights): 265x5, 240x8, 215x10, 190x15
And after that I did dips supersetted with BB curls, dips were (me + added weights): 265x7, 240x10, 215x14, 190x20
Compared to chins and dips, my bench numbers should be much higher, right ?
To be noted. I'm doing dips since a few months only, because my shoulders were not allowing them before. And this is the 1st time I do weighted chins since several months. Dips are done for the triceps and not for the chest, upper arms are parallel to the floor and going all the way up, not half reps, chins are done full rom (full stretch in the down position, with ZERO swing, all pin point).

Your chins strength seems great. Although you can't compare that to bench. My bench numbers are higher, but my chins are smaller. Although I'm sure there are plenty of guys who can't bench 2 plates, who can out chin you as well. Or at least without factoring bodyweight. I can't chin near what you do, but I don't think my back is weak. It's all what you're used to. My seated rows are great, bent over barbell great, but my t-bar rows and 1 arm dumbell rows suck. In the past I could deadlift 600 pounds, yet 1 arm dumbell rows with 70s was as much as I needed. One thing though, you're bench numbers have dropped alot. Yes, things might go down as you lose weight. However, I don't think you should have lost 30 pounds on your bench. At least not yet. Hopefully it was just an off day, or you might have to re-evaluate this statement:
